MTE v3 introduces a unique globalisation system. Using your operating system’s Regional Options, MTE automatically selects an appropriate language (where available) and uses the standards and formats for your locale. Script based (such as Arabic) and RTL (right to left) languages are not supported.
Each language is stored in a separate language look-up table, protected by a digital signature, ensuring integrity and compatibility. The locale encompasses date, time and number formats, and list separators.
MCSetLite, being the primary field software, is fully globalised. All menus, operations and messages are translated into the available languages. Date and number formats are detected from Windows CE. Site Lists automatically determine the list separator used to create the list.
MCReport fully supports all locale settings (date and number formats), and all report output is multi-language enabled. Reports have been reformatted where necessary to cater for strings of arbitrary length.
Locale and language settings can be changed on the fly from your operating system’s Control Panel. If the locale of an unsupported language is selected, MTE will display a warning and default to US English.
